The Things We Love
February is the month of love.
Well, come on now. ALL months are months of love, but you know what I mean.
Let’s talk about the things we love. I’ll start.
- coffee
- family
- my pets
- girlfriends
- chocolate
- my church
- my church band
- the piano
- knitting and quilting
- music
- writing
- reading
- tacos
- being outside
- did I say chocolate already?
- a good story
- people who are kind
It’s not so hard to come up with a list of things you love. It’s the things and people that make you smile, that make your heart feel light, that make the day better. I try to put those things in the books I write, and I try to remember to be grateful for them–even tacos. I’m very grateful for tacos.
Okay. Now it’s your turn. What are some things that you love?

I love all animals. I don’t trust people anymore, so I don’t love anyone. My cats are my companions. I love warm weather.

I am more of a “like” person, but there are a few things I definitely love…cats, books and coffee!
I loved my dogs, too, but no longer have any.
So, I am a lover, an animal lover.

Wow Thanks for this question I love the Lord thy God our Creator, Redeemer, our Everything. I love Scripture – God’s love letter to us – I am keeping binders and notebooks on the scripture and devotions that speak to me – I have even made binders for others; I love my husband, our 4 grown children and 1 precious grandson, I LOVE TO READ – especially all types of Christian fiction – I love to hold the books in my hand and turn the pages – I collect books; I love to volunteer at our church’s resale shop – I love to dress with lots of color and jewelry; I love to usher for plays, symphonies, concerts, and whatever events that they have at 2 different places; I love my friends and to be an encourager to them, and Love to be joyful.
I love the Lord, my husband, my grown daughter, my sister, and my friends.
i love reading, cooking, pets (although I don’t currently have any), watching the birds at my feeders, growing veggies on my patio, watching a few select tv shows. and delivering groceries to some elderly shut-ins.
Hi Vannetta,
I love the Lord and my husband
My children and my grand-dogs
Our feral cats that come and go
My church and my neighborhood
Watching birds and squirrels
My library
FHL Christian Writers
Online classes
My country!
And so much more! Including your books and newsletter!
I love photography that gives me the chance to try to capture God’s creation in a photo what my eye sees enabling me to share then with others.
Love my Mom’s recipes that I’m so very thankful I took the time to write down many years ago before Alzheimer took it’s hold. Before then they hadn’t been written down and really no accurate measurements since Mom just put a dash of this or what looked like it should in her hand. Now Mom’s in heaven with Dad with all disease gone. Now when I make one of the recipes, I remember Mom in the kitchen and the childhood memories flow as well as those when I was making “Momma’s Cookbook”.
I love those that love me expecting nothing in return and that have stood by me – sometimes behind me holding me up – through all life’s slug at me.
I love to cook/bake and then share the bounty of the kitchen with others. I understand now what Mom meant when she said to see the smile of a face after eating something she had made.
I love to read a good book. Although I read as a child, adulthood throw things at me that had reading taking a back seat. As a senior citizen, I have re-found my love of reading.
Love the smell of a fresh bathed baby and hot bread fresh out of the oven.
I love newborns of all forms – from babies to puppies, with their eagerness to learn and grasping all the world has to offer without fear, prejudice or unwillingness to try.

Things I love? Hmmm. My younger me would have answered in a very different way than me today. I feel that age, life experiences, loss of loved ones, and the list goes on, has changed my focus and mt responses to what they are now.

The Bible
Knowing that God is always with me, cares for me, protects me, and so much more

I love sitting on the beach watching the turquoise water, it brings peace to me. I especially would like that now instead of the cold we are having. I like feeling a breeze because you know He is in it and touching your face with his sweetness. As much as I want things in my time, I love His timing better. How many of us need that reminder in our lives? I love taking pictures of family together in that moment because you may not have it again. Then you have the picture to stir the memory. I could make a list with so much on it. Thank you Lord for your love, those around me and the breath you give me. I am blessed because YOUR love started it all!
